Jennifer Englade, 40, of LaPlace was driving a 2006 Pontiac G6 northbound on Airline Highway May 26 when she crossed the raised median. As the Pontiac entered the southbound lanes, it was struck on its right side by a 2001 Honda Civic driven by Romishe Mejia-Fequier, 23, of Harvey. Englade, who was wearing a seat belt, was transported to the Interim LSU Public Hospital Level 1 Trauma Center. She remained in the hospital Wednesday.

Of the five people involved in the crash, three were killed: Mejia-Fequier, who was also wearing a seat belt; Joshua Jones, 29, of Sulphur, who was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead on the scene; and Esther Centeno, 20, of Bridge City, who was pregnant.

State Police could not provide Englade's blood alcohol level; the agency simply said it was over the legal limit. The legal limit in Louisiana is .08.

St. Charles Parish District Attorney Joel Chaisson confirmed that Englade has numerous DWI offenses, including a pair of DWI arrests just three months apart -- the first in St. John Parish on March 19, 1999, the second in St. Charles Parish on June 23, 1999. Englade pleaded guilty to both charges. Prior to her 1999 charges, Englade was also arrested in St. John Parish in September of 1996.

In June of 2012, Englade was once again arrested on DWI charges, and pleaded guilty. She was placed on probation. Chaisson said that this month his office filed to revoke her probation for the 2012 charge. Because Englade's previous charges were more than 10 years old, Chaisson could not charge her with a felony for the 2012 DWI. Englade had a court date set for June 18, and could have faced six months in jail.

Four hours before the crash in St. Charles Parish, on May 25 at roughly 10:40 p.m., Englade and three others were stopped by St. John the Baptist Parish deputies in a parking lot on the 1800 block of Airline Highway in LaPlace as they were leaving a daiquiri shop. At the time, Englade was a passenger in the Pontiac; the driver, Rechelle Hotard, was arrested on a warrant after the stop. The Pontiac was turned over to Englade, the vehicle's owner.

According to Tregre, five deputies were present at the time of Hotard's arrest. Tregre said that in making a decision to turn the keys over to Englade, the deputies "used their discretion and professional judgment in assessing the situation."

"[Englade] was not incoherent," Tregre said. "She was fully aware and understanding of exactly what was going on."

Tregre did confirm, however, that he is launching an internal investigation into the matter to determine whether the deputies followed the correct procedures, adding that "the State Police is doing their investigation, and we're doing ours internally."
